Laundry Extract ducts should be cleaned frequently due to the vast build up of lint from drying high volumes of laundry.
Lint is a highly combustible material which poses a serious fire risk.
All building owners have a responsibility under the fire safety reform act 2005 to minimise fire risks within a building they manage with laundry ductwork often being an easily overlooked fire risk.
Insurance providers are now requesting a full traceable cleaning history with knowledge of regular future cleaning timeframes. Failure to provide the necessary documentation could rate the current insurance policy void.
